booth Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I'll support Eustace, like Tomasson it won't be his fault when he's trying to squeeze blood from a stone. I have a terrible feeling he's going to be another Appleton though. Was he "head coach" at Birmingham too, or is that just some bullshit to avoid paying Broughton compensation? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing much gets past those in charge at Ewood. You've got to get up pretty early in the morning to get one over on them. It's truly heartwarming to know we're in such capable hands. You're behind the times. We've already appointed John Eustace as manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't mentioned as leaving along with JDT and Rene, you just know he's going to pop back up like a bad "egg". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot better appointment than I expected in the circumstances, he's going to need all the luck in the world working for these owners, Waggott and especially if GB is picking the players for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain members of the Ewood hierachy: take note. I'm not crying, you are... Nice. And he calls us “Rovers”, which even many seasoned “Blackburn” fans can’t manage. Good coach who likes to play in the modern way but not suited to the tough and tumble of the Championship. All the best to him 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Giant Posted February 9 Popular Post Share Posted February 9 Any Rovers’ fan worth their salt should be hoping Eustace does well, because that would mean that Blackburn Rovers are doing well. I am very disappointed that JDT has left, but will show the new guy respect and best wishes in the difficult role he has been appointed to undertake. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldgregg86 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) So if we can see past the distraction techniques we can assume IS GB and waggot are keeping there jobs . Which clearly states as fact after three cock ups and no sackings it’s all from India and there was no intentions from them of helping the team of Jon and we are being hoodwinked and lied to again and again about paperwork and send buttons , buses and everything else down at ewood Edited February 9 by Oldgregg86 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt83 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Nice words from jdt. I think thanking everyone from the kitchen staff but not a solitary word of praise towards his superiors was the classy way to go. The message was loud and clear. After a tedious couple of seasons he brought a bit of ambition. He had to go, no one can survive runs like that, but he brought cup runs forgot we could win cup games and the highest league position in 10 years. Arguably the only man at the club with any standards and at a different club under different circumstances I could see him being successful. As someone said above the fact he uses rovers shows he got it more than many of those who went before and are still there ever did/do.
